I hope you enjoy your trip to Savannah. We tailgate there at Savannah State

Univeristy. My twins graduated from there. It is a beautiful city. Atlanta is

about 4 hours away and I don't get there often enough. Hilton Head is near there

and it is lovely too.

Oh my goodness Doug, how terrifying is that. Glad things worked out for you.

Hope the new machine works well for you. Let us know.

As for me well this computer had something wrong with it for 2 days and would

not let me connect to Internet Exp. well I finally saw an icon and clicked on it

and disabled add-ons (whatever they are) and it worked!!!!!! Yipee.

I still have not heard from my resp doc as to the xolair yet. I need to schedule

the shots around me trip down to Savannah next month.

I am kinda anxious to get started since you all are doing so well with it and I

want to feel good again. I went to a place today that had dogs in it, but they

weren't there, and after a while the allergies kicked in good. I came home to my

two dogs and was find........ .go figure! Guess I built up a tolerance to them,

they are bichons and have hair, not fur so maybe that makes a difference. Oh who

knows.

Hope all of you have a nice Sunday. Jan

Subject: [ ] I stop breathing at night even with my cpap machine

A month ago I had a cervical epidural steroid injection. They put me under for

about 20 minutes to have those and I stopped breathing. My pulse ox went wayyyy

down. The doc shook me several times to get me to breathe again and put me on

oxygen. My PCP recommended that I have another sleep study.

I had it last night and the cpap didn't work. They started me on a bi-pap

machine. It was very strange because it forced air INTO My lungs and then I

breathed out normally. It worked!

Hmmmm, I wonder if I could have one 24/7 lOL!

The doctor who did the sleep study is a Pulmo. I told him I had been on xolair

for 6 years and was the first one in the state to get it. He was impressed.

I get my new machine in a few days. Gotta get used to one all over again
